The project includes a new service building with toilet and a waiting room, as well as refurbishment of an existing kiosk and the outdoor areas. The limited available area has allowed for a number of experiments on the structure, transparency and construction of the building. The aluminium structure is turned inside out, giving it an internal surface of structural glazing protected externally by a timber structure clad with translucent fibreglass sheeting, which covers services and lighting installations.
The temperature inside is low, but convector heaters with movement sensors are triggered on entry. The building has full universal access.
